Qatar Airways has announced plans to expand its network to Chiang Mai in Thailand from December 16, with five weekly flights via Yangon, the former capital of Myanmar.
The largest and most culturally significant city in northern Thailand, Chiang Mai will be the fourth city in the Asian country to be served by Qatar Airways, which currently flies to Bangkok and Phuket, and will commence flights to Krabi on December 6.
The airline said that with the addition of Krabi and Chiang Mai, Qatar Airways will increase its flights to Thailand from 39 to 48 per week by the end of 2016.
Marwan Koleilat, Qatar Airways senior vice president East Asia & South West Pacific, said: “As we are constantly expanding our network in South East Asia, the popular tourist destination of Thailand is an obvious target for growth. We have seen increased travel demand for our services to Thailand.”
The launch of flights to Chiang Mai comes at a time when Qatar Airways is rapidly expanding its network and will inaugurate 14 new destinations on its route map throughout 2016 and into early 2017.
